There is no precise answer to that. I presume you want to know if you planted a reasonable amount for your family. If they are mainly for fresh use I think that amount will give you enough for several meals and a few to give away. It's about the amount of any one variety of bean I would grow for my own use. If I were canning or freezing I would grow much more.

Date to maturity is a very rough, unreliable estimate of time from planting to first harvest.

Thanks Jim. Much appreciated.

You can extend the season by making sure the bean plants don't go to seed...keep picking them! I also grew some pole beans along with my regular bush beans and we were eating beans well into September.
